Two people were fatally stabbed, and the knife-wielding assailant shot dead by police, in a chaotic midafternoon attack Friday on the busy London Bridge.
Police have not named the dead assailant but said they are treating the assault as a terrorist attack.
Several victims were stabbed, two of them fatally, said Cressida Dick, commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, at a briefing at Scotland Yard late Friday.
“This is a very fast-moving, dynamic investigation,” she said.
